Xylosandrus germanus, birch and alder forest that grew on the site of a former fire, Kivertsi National Park «Tsumanska Pushcha»Abstract
Xylosandrus germanus origins from SE Asia and Oriental Region from where it was introduced to almost all Holarctic excluding north. In Ukraine, this species was found only in Transcarpathian Region (2012). This is the first find of this species in Volyn Region, in the Kivertsi National Park "Tsumanska Pushcha".
The collection of material was carried out by counting animals on six test plots from 05.07.2022 to 09.25.2022. Three window traps and three Barber traps were placed in each trial area. The traps were located at a distance of 50 m from each other.
1 female was collected in a a birch and alder forest that grew on the site of a former fire with a windfall.
The current discovery of this species confirms the already known data on its presence in birch and alder forests that have grown on the site of a fire with a significant amount of dead wood in western Ukraine. According to recent data on its distriubution in Europe, it can be expected that X. germanus can be found in other places of Ukraine.
